Items to ask about or confirm with the billing office. Things a reader can ask or check:
- Quote the billing code, such as 71046 for the chest X-ray, and ask for the cash or self-pay price and an itemized estimate.
- Ask what the quote includes and what it leaves out, since these are facility charges.
- Ask about separate professional bills, such as a radiologist reading an MRI, CT or ultrasound, or an ER physician for an ER visit, which may be billed apart from the hospital.

Cash/Self-Pay: The discounted rate hospitals offer to uninsured patients. Ask about financial assistance programs for further reductions.
Insured Range: Lowest to highest negotiated rates across all payers. Medicare rates are typically lowest; commercial plan rates highest.
About Facility Fees

Imaging procedures include a facility fee plus a radiologist's reading fee. Surgical procedures add surgeon, anesthesia, and pathology fees.
